Born Into Poverty: 1,400 Each Year

In East Colfax and Original Aurora, six out of 10 babies are
born to families making less than $15,000. This is the highest rate of
newborn poverty in the Children's Corridor. In some tracts in Original
Aurora, the rate is close to 70%.

East Colfax and Original Aurora
also has more births than any Corridor hub. From 2007 to 2010, almost a
third of Corridor births were in East Colfax and Original Aurora.
